Hardly the most original title but I didn't want to loose anyone (well that's my excuse for the lack of originality!)

Is anybody testing at the moment? Any good news for Christmas?

Cheepz · 26/12/2009 19:25

i have drunk too much and eaten too much ... its great

am in france so its blue cheese, seafood and all the bad things.

dh wbought me beautiful diamond a\nd ruby necklace - thats it, but thats fine by me!!!!!

heres to a bfp filled new year

MrsRigby · 26/12/2009 20:20

BFN again this morning - what a suprise.

I can hear you all screaming you know.

I'll do another test on New Years Day, but none until then or after .

And if I don't get a period or a BFP after 2 months (17th January), then I'm going to see the doctor.

We're all sick still .

Went to the parents before to swap presents. They brought DS some socks that are too small, a ball and a santa lolly pop.

A santa lolly for a 1 year old? Covered in sugar? We're all vegetarian and it's made with gelatin?

This is exactely why DS will not be left with the grandparents.

DH reckons we just need to educate them . Yes, they're going to listen and do what we ask if they look after DS alone (which will never, ever, ever happen) especially when they've brought up 10 children between them.

Grandparents are well known for doing what they want and coming in between the child and it's parent.

Then Dad asked when he could take DS on a steam train - just him and Mum. Why are they so hell bent on having DS alone with them?

There is no way, in a month of Sundays (where does that expression come from) that they are "looking after" DS.

Dad is becoming more 'a few currants short of a fruitcake' and would accidentally kill DS if left alone with him. Plus he's a religous nutter (Deacon).

Mum is very suffocating, all over DS, won't leave him alone and freaks out when he puts a wooden hammer in his mouth. Same woman who told me we had to have stairgates (still haven't got any) and could not have a real Christmas tree (guess what, we've got a real Christmas tree). Also told me lots of other things I've chosen to ignore .

I should point out that I did try posting this morning, but DS hit the delete button (very clever, but not clever enough to talk or walk). We're now calling the on/shut down button the naughty button as DS keeps pressing it so often.

Oh and Mothercare charged me for nappy cassettes twice (only brought 1), but I didn't notice as I was trying to get out quickly as DH was driving around with DS waiting for me.

LeeWT · 27/12/2009 00:45

Well mrs r the grass is always greener! I sit wishing upon a star that someone would want desperately to take dd for a couple of hours for a break but my parents live a couple of hrs away and my stepdad is a slightly unhinged alcoholic so even if they lived closer and were so inclined they wouldn't get their hands on her. Dh's mother died when he was 9 and none of his three younger sisters (30, 28 and 23) can drive or walk he length of themselves and even when we've been at our wits end wouldn't see that we need help..

For example after my most recent mc I didn't get so much as a nice text from one of them. Then that very same sister suffered the same fate and all of a sudden I was the shoulder to cry on etc etc

honestly family who'd have em?!?!

As for the serial testing I wholly sympathize the last time we ttc I was a NUTCASE honestly I lost track of the number of sticks I peed on.. There's only so many times you can pee on your hand in one month and maintain dignity!

Your ds sounds a delight mrs r, my dd will be 3 in April and it makes me sad that I haven't managed to provide her with a sibling or even a whisper of one but I'm trying to enjoy her and let it go since I know there's nothing I can do about it..

Oh the craziness of it all!

Cheepz you sound like you are havin a ball good on you!

Mrs r, louiseh and boodle your Xmas pressies sound lovely! Dh bought me a ridiculously expensive diamond ring to make up for him being snappy and tired from working long hours.. It's beautiful :-) he has also booked me tickets to Paris for my bday but he doesn't know I know!

Meita I hope your Xmas has been as good as it can be oh how every ache and twinge is difficult to bear when you have a history such as ours but I hope that you are enjoying this bean as mch as to can.

Apples! With all this twin envy we need more info!!! Tell us all! Will you find out what you're having? When's the next scan?!?!

Ok ladies I've written war and peace including a rant on inlaws following mrs r's rant which made me want t share! Am off home tomor so prob won't have Internet but hoping for some good news by the time I get back! Xx

tigerbear zayja cake tigger.....what news??

i have had such a lovely christmas, luckily for me i have great parents and family in law....we went to see sherlock yesterday and all i can say is guy richie should be shot with two lock stock smoking barrels.....never again will i EVER see one of his films.....

i feel really chilled out and have had such a peaceful christmas and me and DH have really got into this everyother day BD and never been so close....coming up to our 1st wedding anniversary in feb....this year has flown by, i really hope that by this time next year we will have a baby to celebrate its first christmas with.....we saw our Goddaughter Dotty yesterday and it was her first christmas.....so chubby cheeked with big blue eyes and dark black curls......poleaxed me momentarily as the grief hit me for the babe we lost...hits you when you least expect it doesn't it.....i buried my head in her curls and sobbed silently for a moment before composing myself playing peekaboo behind the raggedy mouse we had bought her....DH saw. He felt it too. Ah well.....2010...THIS will be our year, all of us.....

tigger15 · 27/12/2009 15:58

My Christmas present was AF at about 10.30am on Christmas day. Really great one. If I'd had the option of burying myself in bed for the rest of the day I would have done so but sadly not. So that means I'm now on a fun cycle of either 26 or 31 and am thoroughly depressed. Sorry for not posting earlier but it just seems to get harder and harder as each month goes.

tigger15 · 27/12/2009 16:00

Boodle I know what you mean. I think it's getting really hard at the moment as I'm about 2 and 1/2 weeks away from what would have been the EDD of my mc. At least we will be on a nice sunny holiday when that date arrives.

Also "everybody" else is sprouting nice big bumps or has just had their no. 2s which doesn't make it any easier to forget.

Looks like AF is visiting me too tigerbear, I've just been the toilet, wiped and there was blood.

SamanthaB123 · 27/12/2009 19:20

I read last night on the internet that a woman's fertility is temporarily increased for 4-6 weeks after a mc. Anyone know anything about this?

CakeandFineWine · 27/12/2009 19:34

Evening all,

Hope you all had a good crimle
We were all full of cold but DH was off work as he is a nurse he's not very often!

Ihaven't caught up with all your posts yet but will read through in a bit!

So I decided to test a ciuple of days early this morning an altough faint there is def a line there so I guess its a BFP for me The OPK worked first time!!! Whoop whoop!
I will def be lurking though and wishing all you fab ladies sticky beans! and obviously tht this bean stays sticky for me!
Thank you aswell for all you advice and support since september too, you guys have def helped me thro this xxxxx

CakeandFineWine · 27/12/2009 19:52

caught up with all your posts, Hello to all new newbies, sorry about your losses but these ladies are very supportive.

MrsR in a way I'm glad for you that AF has arrived, at least you know one way or the other, my AF took 10 weeks FFS but I was nearly 14 weeks which apparently makes a difference!

sunburntats · 27/12/2009 20:24

oooh dh agreed to jsut fuck it and start to try again straight away, sex has never been so good!

He wanted us to leave it a few months but this was breaking my heart, i need hope, i need to know that we are maybe headng towards a BFP.

Wont be this month as think ive already ovulated...funny feelings in my tum, but not bothered, YAY!!!

MrsRigby · 27/12/2009 20:53

Evening

Many congratulations cakeandfinewine. samanthab123 many of us have heard of that. I read you're more fertile for up to 3 months after a period.

We'll see.

sunburntats 'funny feelings in my tum', could you be pregnant?. That's how boodleboot and I knew we were pregnant...

Definately a period for me, I suppose in a way it's a good thing, but I really wanted to be pregnant by now.

Feel quite sad.

How much longer will I have to wait for my BFP?

No, these are regular feelings in my tum when ovulaton is defo done.
For ages, Thought it was ovulation but blood tests show that actually i dont ovulate every month and after nearly 2 years of timing bding around these funny feelings and month after month getting a BFFN i know its not pregnancy related

CakeandFineWine · 27/12/2009 21:31

MRSR thanks hun. As for you its still early days!! you time will come I really felt ready this month for it! If you ar stressing about it happening too much it won't happen xx

louisesh · 27/12/2009 23:51

Hi all CONGRATS to Cake yeh!!!!

Well, BOODLE just been to see sherlock Holmes and really enjoyed it....We all have different tastes don t we? [Although my DH did have to explain about "professer moriaty" at the end!!!!]

Still no BD going on here we both seem to have totally lost the urge, suppose its to be expected after 2 years and 3 MCS and what we are facing.....But i want a sex life back for the sake of my relationship, at least we are cuddling and all the rest of it....we just need to keep working at it.

Had a lovely few days off work eating,chilling,shopping and sleeping.Was supposed to visit friends in Derby to stay over night but we cried off to shop for some xmas pesents and chill ou at home instead its soo nice to be off work.Back at work on Tuesday..but short week only 2 days to work then off to my parents for new year.

No thoughts on AF what so ever, don t think for 1 minute i ll be pg this month and don t really see the point as its been identified about my chromosomnal problem...All being well we will get our appt with the genetic counseller end of Jan[ i spoke to the secretary last week] and if theres a cancellation before hand she will get in touch with us}.

Seeing the MIL tomorrow for exchanging of xmas pressies should be good!!!!

Arh...MRS R its shit...... X

boodleboot · 28/12/2009 09:32

that is brilliant news cake sooooo glad that we had a christmas BFP.... - stick around or pop back and let us know how you are doing....

mrsR - i'm so sorry, i know exactly how you are feeling, i got myself so wound up last month desperate to be pregnant at christmas and the stress and pressure i felt was amazing.....this month couldn't be more different, even if i am not PG {and lets face it, it IS going be take me longer only having one tube......}i have had some really important relationship time with my DH and feel so much the better for it....i know you don't want to hear people telling you to chill out, its annoying isn't it BUT you really owe it to yourself to give your mind and body a break....not a literal break but a MENTAL break.....its trying to recover from a trauma, losing a baby....when we try to race away from something as big as that we run the risk of going a bit bonkers....i have found that this female fertility enhancer meditation on my IPOD really helped me after the EP....its all about visualising repairing your body from the inside....if you would like it then let me know and i can email to you for you to download.....be easy on yourself and your body....[hippy emoticon]

Louise - i'm glad you enjoyed the film.....i DID think that Robert Downey Junior was amazing in it.....just the cut and slash directing i didn't like.....i couldn't help but think what a fabulous name for a boy both SHERLOCK and MORIARTY were tho ha....

sunburn - so sorry to hear you so down.....what you are going through is rubbish and i am sorry that you are feeling so depressed.....ride it out hun and lets get you pregnant for 2010 so you can get a nice big shiny pram.....

sam - when i said about that temporary increased fertility after MC he looked me square in the eye and said that it sounded like the sort of thing that was told to people desperate to conceive to give them hope and make them carry on trying.....but he is a grumpy old thing.....either way if it makes us feel better about TTC so much the good eh?

tigger....whast a lousy christmas present....well done for not letting it ruin everyones christmas tho....i always thought september babies were better than august anyhoo...the school age thing....

Good Evening,

Boodleboot I found the info about increased fertility by accident on the internet...I have to admit that it did make me feel good about my prospects ttc but it was research based and once I started looking I found it in other places too. We will have to see how many of us who hac mc'd do conceive quickly.

CakeandFineWine Congratulations! How exciting to hear some lovely news at Chrismtas. You must be really delighted!

I'm really sorry for everyone with AF right now - I really hope that I am pregnant this time, I can't imagine how I will keep going through months of this. BDing is great though

I had a bit of a moment in the middle of the night last night - a sort of lucid dream. I felt really sick with a terrible headache but in a way that I felt something was really happening. I'm not sure if I think I concieved or ovulated, just that it was a moment of significance. I'm probably not making any sense at all...I've never experienced anything like that before, it was a really moving feeling.

Back to work today - only working at home but still, it's a shock to the system. It's going to take me all day to work out what I'm supposed to be doing.
